I can see the character labeled "BULLY" on the right side of the image. He is depicted as a boy with a frowning expression, arms crossed, wearing a yellow shirt and blue jeans. His unhappy, defensive posture suggests he represents negative, unfriendly behavior.
Now I need to analyze the list of behaviors in the middle and determine which ones should be associated with the "Buddy" (friend) and which with the "Bully". Let me go through each behavior one by one:
1. Spreads rumours - This is negative behavior, typically associated with bullying.
2. Doesn't play with me - This could be exclusionary behavior, often associated with bullying.
3. Respects me - This is positive behavior, associated with friendship.
4. Teases me - This can be playful or hurtful; in this context, likely negative.
5. Shares with me - This is positive, friendly behavior.
6. Makes fun of me - This is clearly negative, associated with bullying.
7. Listens to me - This is positive, showing consideration for others.
8. Plays with me - This is positive, inclusive behavior.
9. Invites me to things - This is positive, friendly behavior.
10. Talks behind my back - This is negative, secretive behavior associated with bullying.
11. Says nice things about me - This is positive, supportive behavior.
12. Teases me about how I look - This is specifically negative, targeting appearance, associated with bullying.
Based on this analysis, I can now provide the solution to the problem.
The solution to this problem is to categorize each behavior as either belonging to a "Buddy" (friend) or a "Bully" based on whether it represents positive, respectful, inclusive behavior or negative, harmful, exclusive behavior.
Buddy (Friend) behaviors:
- Respects me
- Shares with me
- Listens to me
- Plays with me
- Invites me to things
- Says nice things about me
Bully behaviors:
- Spreads rumours
- Doesn't play with me
- Teases me
- Makes fun of me
- Talks behind my back
- Teases me about how I look
The worksheet is designed to help children understand the difference between positive friendships and negative bullying behaviors. The visual representation reinforces this distinction, with the "Buddy" character shown smiling and the "Bully" character shown frowning with crossed arms.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of bully worksheet.
